Our Fall Tour comes to an end next week when we head to Los Angeles for the TAXI Road Rally. TAXI is the world's leading Independent Artist & Repertoire Company, and has been around since 1992. Each year they host their own conference, the TAXI Road Rally in Los Angeles, which is exclusive (and free) for their members.

This year we’ll be sponsoring the Road Rally and participating in many conference events. Allison from our support team and Dave Cool will be there on the ground for us. Here are all the details:

WORKSHOPS

Website Demolition Derby
Friday, November 9th
11AM - 12:30PM

This session will offer live critiques of musician websites. Each site's design, organization, content and functionality will be assessed. How does the website fit with the artist's overall online strategy, and how successfully does it achieve their goals? Dave Cool, the Director of Artist Relations at Bandzoogle, is extremely knowledgeable about website best practices and deeply allergic to bad design, Flash widgets and unreadable fonts. Reviews will be ruthless, and diplomacy will be left aside, but all reviews will aim to teach everyone in the room some website design best practices.
